In the future, historians will point to this car as the inspiration for the "pedo-net grille" that was so named because of the phenomenon in the early 2020's where the new 'Artificial Intelligence' powered self driving cars began hunting down and kidnapping children using their giant grilles. Unfortunately many "intelligences" would lose their lives to the hordes of weapon toting parents and car owners before it was realized the cars just weren't smart enough to befriend adults and we're simply just lonely & looking for a friend to play Pokemon go with.

[@SergCarReviews]

I totally agree! I've driven the 7 series and S Class and the LS is just better overall (although I would say tech was better in the euros) but when given the chance to drive them for weeks I sort of got over the 7 series and s-class whilst still wanting to keep driving the LS!

Here is what I think the petrol warning is for. If you leave it open for more than 30 minutes, it would assume you have forgotten to close it. As a result, it will probably block the petrol tank, which would prevent people from people able to steal your petrol. Because of this, the petrol isn't entering the tank and then begins to overflow. Closing and opening the petrol cap will reset the 30 minute timer, and allow you to begin filling it up.

[@commandroid9336]

Makes sense to me but how about automatically closing fuel cap after 30 minutes instead of blocking from inside?

[@gooney2846]

CommAndroid it most likely requires a good amount of force to close considering it's a seal. It wouldn't be worth it to add such a complicated and strong mechanism when you could just close it from the inside.

[@jonathangwynne1917]

CommAndroid, plus, they could add logic in the ECU so that if you put the car into drive with the fuel filter open, it could automatically close.

[@chrisogrady28]

I doubt it’s about stealing petrol, it will be for stopping evaporation, air entering the tank, and less fuel splashing around back up the pipe while driving.

[@gooney2846]

Christopher O'Grady I think your right, my first thought was air entering the tank preventing the pump from being able to read the level of gas in the tank. Idk how it really works though.

The fuel will overflow because there's a valve down in the gas tank pipe leading to the actual gas tank that closes after you close the fuel door protecting it from getting stolen and the fuel doesn't splash out, and in this case automatically closes after 30 min.

The smog sensor is a sensor behind the grill that will detect smog, bad smells, etc. The main thing what it does when it detects a bad smell, it turns off outside air coming in... It works shockingly well. They had this feature in for years, even my old 2007 LS had it... There is a little filter in the sensor, that no one seems to know about, if it's not working well, you pull the filter out, clean it drop in it and it gets even better

What makes things even more interesting is that a 90K mile LS400 sells for around 4K - 5K (USD) when in good condition making them the single best value luxury sedan that just about anyone can own.

[@Zizzily]

Pretty sure with increasingly strict emissions standards that when you open the fuel door, it also vents the tank since the gas pump should recover any gas fumes, but they want to reduce the amount of fumes that are venting to the environment as much as possible.

[@PowerDUp]

Fuel caps on most modern cars are "non-venting", which means they store the gas fumes in charcoal canisters and then use those gases during certain driving operation, like cruising down the highway, when you're not demanding a lot of power.

[@xenonram]

If it's anything like my hybrid, it has something to do with the electrical bits. My fuel door has a pressure sensor and won't open until it's ready. You press the fuel door button, and it opens when there is no pressure built up.

[@alexandruilea915]

Zzyzx Wolfe actually the fuel tank locks itself so nobody can put water in it if you forgot it open in the parking lot. I have seen many people forget the fuel door opened and next days complaining that their car is not working properly anymore. 😆

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Yup, it's part of the hybrid "Partial Zero Emission Vehicle" version. The gas tank also has a rubber liner that contracts and expands with the fuel to avoid having fuel vapor. Which deteriorates over time - my 2004 Prius gas tank is officially an 11.9 gallon tank. When new, if I ran it to far enough empty that the warning light started blinking, I would put in 10-11 gallons. Now, I've run it to the warning light blinking and it only puts in about 8 gallons, as that rubber liner has stiffened and doesn't stretch to the full capacity any more. Between that and the battery losing capacity lowering mileage (got 45-50 MPG when new, now closer to 35-40,) my total range has dropped from almost 500 miles to barely 300 per fill.

For those interested in the glass trim, "kiriko" glass is a Japanese style of cut art glass that's existed for a 100+ years. It's a Japanese twist on luxury that definitely says that Toyota is striving to offer even higher-end luxury models that compete with the likes of the BMW M760i if not some of the well-established British luxury brands (although it certainly doesn't have umbrellas or electrically deployed picnic tables).

[@YoungVenchy]

Maikeru Go they should've put more of that glass material in the interior. Lexus interior is really out of date. Decades behind Audi and Benz.Lexus marketing their cars as reliable should stop that approach and focus on better designs because people who spend $120k on a car don't keep them that long to be worrying about reliability issues.

[@YoungVenchy]

Huy Thai the material is exotic but still not used enough in the interior. BMW has had the same interior for ages with minor tweaks and now in 2018-19 it is the go to design for majority of it's competitors. Lexus's current flagship interior isn't advanced in any way, its center console looks like a big CD player. The rear center console of the previous Lexus flagship looked like a 1980's Panasonic car stereo. Why do you think Lexus killed the GS while BMW right now, a luxury car brand has more cars to choose from than Toyota. Lexus can't design a car to save their life.

[@YoungVenchy]

Huy Thai you have to be the dumbest piece of shit. All of those cars are Japanese versions of cars made for the American market. The Aristo was the GS. BMW doesn't rebadge cars made for the American market and sell them in Japan. And as unreliable as BMW is I will still take one over a million mile Toyota anyday.

You dont even note all the features or refindments on the car... Like when your taking a turn at night, the headlights tilt 15% so you can see what your turning into (really amazing feature), then when you stick the car in reverse, the side mirrors tilt so you can see the curb... It's just those little things like that that make a LS... and as a daily driver, I think it would be the only car I will ever own.

[@splashtop672]

Most, if not all of those features were first implemented on European cars. Moving headlights and mirrors that drop down were on 1999-2005 e46 BMW 3 series. This new LS continues to recycle old technology. Look at the reverse camera, it finally has trajectory, something BMW had since 2011-12. The 360 camera? That is seriously half baked on the new LS. Watch a video of the 2015 7 series 360 camera, that is the definition of well execution.

[@TheCoolDave]

Splash Top no...maybe later..

[@timebandit711]

Splash Top, the dropping side mirrors on reverse were first introduced on the discontinued Infiniti Q45 in 1997. In addition, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll be surprised what the 1991 Toyota Soarer (Lexus SC400) in Japan had! A Touch screen with navigation system that can also be used as a TV, back up camera, electronically folding side mirrors, computerized suspension with 4 wheel steering, even the front seats move forward and backwards automatically once you push them accordingly with one try. Lexus was the first to introduce the self park option on their flagship LS 460 back in 2006 (4th generation) and rear seat massage with sliding backseats were available on the 2004 LS430.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

hey techmaster777 I understand that for the price of these lexus cars they are no where near the "best performing" vehicles. And you have a hellcat so you have pretty much the performance bargain but that begs the question, how often do you utilize all 700 horsepower on the public road? A bugatti or a camry, they both become the same performance on the road going 45 mph, now i'm talking about legally of course people speed all the time. I drive a Stinger and I can never floor my car, ever, or else i'm breaking every speed limit in the country. And it's quoted around 4.7 seconds and the LC will do like 4.4 or something but when Lexus and Randy Pobst designed the LC they wanted it to be the perfect "road car" on the road the limit performance just isnt as important and its things like the sound, the interior, the comfort that matter most. Thats where I think the LC knocked it out of the park also the Stinger and the performance of these cars are perfect for the road as you have effortless passing power way more than enough for the road. I just think cars like the LC are not looked at in the right perspective and I have sat in one, after sitting in a rolls royce, wow the LC quickly became my most favorite interior ever. IDk not a lot of people look at cars in that light in the past few years it's always been about the spec sheet. Of course driving something like a hellcat down the road is always a blast and every drive is a comical event but just wanted to share my thoughts on why cars like the LC are so good

[@techmaster777]

Exhaust Sports Auto I use my roughly 750 horsepower constantly lol. I love full throttling just to pass people and using my big brembos to get back to speed limit in fractions of a second 😂 I know what you're saying and for the aspect it's true but a similarly equipped s class still has 100 more hp than the Lexus does and 0-60 isn't even important in these cars it's the passing time which the Mercedes would be significantly quicker at. Just saying yeah it's not all about power but to have the option to use a lot of power to get out of dangerous situations is beneficial. Not having that power on tap on a car you're spending 120k plus on is crazy imo :/ it's like spending 200k on a BMW i8 and you can't even compete with a 50k c7 base corvette

[@phillipberk5767]

Exhaust Sports Auto simple solution, drive fast, I don’t think I’ve followed a speed limit in years😂

True but you have to admit you don't NEED more than like 4.5 seconds on the road. I'm no racing driver and the drive down to starbucks isn't the nurburgingring as much as us car guys would like to think. Cars like the LC have really changed my perspective on cars that being said, my next car will probably be a C7 Z06 😂😂but I certainly see the appeal for the LC if I didn't have the Stinger my coupe or sports car may very well have been the LC or a C63s amg. My ideal car is like a rolls royce wraith or a S63 amg coupe but obviously who doesn't want to drive mclarens or lambos on the road too you know

The smog sensor detects particulates outside and automatically sets ventilation recirculating mode. The older LS's since the 430 do this too but they didn't have sensitivity control. So that's that then.

[@incog99skd11]

I am a VW Phaeton driver. I have been for a very long time. During the review, I was astounded by how many features the Phaeton has with this car. The Phaeton is 15 years older and still holds its own against the most modern features. It has 4 zone heating and cooling. It has a 350HP V8 or a V12 with more HP. I think the Lexus is a lovely car, don't get me wrong, but it is a testament to VW for what they were trying to accomplish with the Phaeton. They were way ahead of the curve. By the way, the smog alert would be useful to me. I can see turning on air re-circulation if it alarms. In the Phaeton if I see dust or a polluting car, that's exactly what I do. Granted the Phaeton has 6 air filters which protect me from pollution but I expect a Lexus driver would do the same. The only criticism of the car is the absolutely horrible looking grill. This would stop me from buying the car. The Phaeton was understated and I do not want to advertise my wealth with a gaudy Edsel-like grille.
